Greening as a Service (GaaS)
Speaker: Horace Blackman
Greening as a Service (GaaS) is an information and technology initiative to support IT energy management and greening information management. GaaS provides customers simple and continuous analyses of energy consumption across individual and facility practices. The first phase demonstrated that optimized IT-related energy policies can potentially reduce costs by 50%. GaaS is an example of Performance Architectural Science Systems (PASS) where integrated disciplines facilitate performance goals among disparate organizational groups

How to make your Data Center more Energy-Efficient and Greener
Speaker: Dale Sartor
Developing and applying best practices for saving energy in data centers. As data centers become more energy intensive, there is an increasing need for IT and facilities staff to work together to capture the low hanging fruit as well as the longer term efficiency opportunities. This workshop will cover energy benchmarking and strategies to improve performance.
